Final Project

write a 1200-1500 word paper where you
analyze the Dalai Lama’s perspective on religious diversity covered in Week 7 from the point of
view of John Hick covered in Week 7 as well.
Let me now talk about how to approach this essay further.
There are some general guidelines that you have to follow in this assignment as well. These are:
- Defend a thesis and should proceed according to the following format: Thesis, Argument,
Objection(s), Response(s), Conclusion
- Include citations to the primary required class readings (this means there must be a good
amount of references to the Dalai Lama and Hick articles in your essay). These and any
additional sources must be properly cited using MLA format.
- Fall within the following length requirements: 1200-1500 words.
- Use a standard 10-12 pt. font and be double spaced.
Here is some further guidance for how you might approach this paper.
Start off by reviewing the material in the Week 7 module, as well as the Week 7 readings from
the Dalai Lama and Hick. ALSO, DURING WEEK THREE, I WILL UPLOAD MY REVIEW
NOTES FOR WEEK 7 IN THE DOC SHARING PART OF OUR SITE AS A PDF, SO YOU
CAN REVIEW THOSE AS WELL AS YOU WORK ON THIS PROJECT.
As you go through the Dalai Lama and Hick essay, I suggest, as well, you make some notes
about points that the Dalai Lama makes that you think Hick would agree with, along with some
of the points you think Hick might disagree with. There are lots of interesting points the Dalai
Lama makes. He says that Christians might practice some of the meditation practices of
Buddhism. He says that all religions are trying to help people be happy. He says that
Christianity and Buddhism disagree on the point of whether there is a God that made the world.
He says that Buddhism is the true religion. And he says that there is merit and value in all
2
religions that people practice. Again, make notes to yourself about points that the Dalai Lama
makes that you think Hick would agree with, along with some of the points you think Hick might
disagree with. Below, I will explain why I think this will be helpful to developing your essay.
After you review this material, making the notes I suggested, you are ready to start working on
your paper.
Start off writing your introductory paragraph. In this paragraph, you should provide an overview
of what you are going to do in your paper. Also, you need to put in your thesis statement. Since
you are analyzing the Dalai Lama’s article from Hick’s point of view, as I hinted at above, I
suggest your thesis statement involve something about some of the points you think Hick would
agree with the Dalai Lama on, along with some of the points you think Hick might disagree with
the Dalai Lama on. For instance, an example of a thesis statement might be, “I will argue that
Hick would agree with the Dalai Lama that all religions are useful, but, nonetheless, Hick would
disagree with the Dalai Lama on the point that Buddhism is the true religion.”
After you write your introductory paragraph, next you might want to write one or two paragraphs
with a little biographical information on the Dalai Lama and Hick. To do this, you will have to
do some research on the Internet from a reliable source. Some good sites are these:
Dalai Lama: http://www.dalailama.com/biography/a-brief-biography
John Hick: http://www.iep.utm.edu/hick/
